Room 16 Are Playing Tag Rugby!
Room 16 have been learning to play tag rugby for the past few weeks and it has been great fun so far. The class are learning lots of new rugby skills (throwing the ball backwards!) and its been great to practice our teamwork too! Great exercise and great fun! Everyone was running so fast the camera couldn’t keep up! 😉
Rm 14; Rathmines History trail
To conclude our sixth class projects on the History of Rathmines Room 14 went on a History trail around Rathmines. We observed the signs of History in our locality and we learned lots of interesting information about the church, the library, the town hall, St. Mary’s College, Belgrave Park, the Bleeding Horse Pub, the Grand Canal, the old Kodak building, the Post Office and even the houses along William’s Park. We were lucky enough to be given some time to have a snack in the peaceful Sacred Space room in Rathmines church. We tracked the route of the Swan River; which now flows underground, examined shopfronts along the Rathmines road and finished our trail in Belgrave park after passing James Joyce’s childhood home on Castlewood Avenue.
Halloween Sponsoner Walk and Treasure Hunt
